“The sixth form is good. Students are taught well, challenged to reach high standards and are given good advice about the next stages of their education and employment.  The curriculum is strengthened by clear spiritual, moral, social and cultural guidance. Students demonstrate a good understanding of British values and know how to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. Students are happy in the academy. Their behaviour in classrooms is good overall because they focus on their learning and show respect for teachers and one another.”
